Translating "to go" as in "to go through a phase"

Translating "to go" as in "to go through a phase"

I've tried looking up the phrase "to go through a phase" several different ways and can't seem to find a definite answer on how the "to go" would be translated. My first instinct was "pasar", maybe with "por" after. I'd appreciate some help!

Spanishdict dictionary says: it's just a phase (he's going through) -> ya se le pasará

I think that you can say: Está pasando por una fase. but something makes me think that you'd have to say what kind of fase...una fase complicado...una buena fase...una fase de grandes cambios...una fase muy mala....una fase de celos...etc...I could be wrong.

to go = ir


through = por


a phase= una fase


to go through a phase = ir por una fase.


If you conjugate it, the subject of "who" is going through the phase will be more clear.


Voy por una fase = I am going through a phase.

Just a guess, but it could involve estar, not ir, ie it might be better to think of it as 'being in a phase'. But, just a guess.
